Four. A master device and a slave device on each PATA chain.
The system can support 4 devices.
If im reading the question right the answer is 4 and only four as that is how many devices you can have on two connection (or two on each cable master and slave)
The system will be able to support 4 EDIE devices, 2 devices per cable.
The Motherboard functions as the main circuit board that connects and communicates to all the devices and components attached in the computer. The motherboard facilitates the communication of devices with each other.
both support hot-swapping devices
4 Each PATA connection (also referred to as IDE) can support 2 items: a primary and a secondary (or called Master/Slave) Look on the back of a CD Rom and you'll see a jump to set to Master or Slave.
A parallel jack is a type of electrical connector used primarily for connecting audio devices, such as guitars and amplifiers, as well as various electronic equipment. It typically features two or more metal contacts that allow for simultaneous connections, enabling the transmission of signals in parallel rather than in sequence. This design helps maintain signal integrity and can support multiple connections, making it versatile for various applications. Parallel jacks can also refer to connectors used in data communication and networking.
A typical modern motherboard has 1 IDE channel, which can support 2 devices. IDE has been replaced by Serial ATA (SATA), so modern boards have 2 to 8 SATA ports. Older motherboards may have 2 to 6 IDE channels, which could support 4-12 IDE devices.
No, a printer is a printer. A motherboard is a board in your PC that holds everything together. Modern printers, especially the larger multi-function devices, are really special purpose computers that have an operating system. These printers can have a motherboard to supply the support function for the printer.
A motherboard can support one processor only.
Four, two per connection. Each cable has a master and a slave, so pay attention to jumper settings when connecting the devices.
It depends what type of motherboard. But yes, some can support 8 gb
